Busy Warnings

Problems with the Windows version of XAMPP, questions, comments, and anything related.

Busy Warnings

Postby rparsons » 26. April 2009 23:33

I installed XAMP successfully and it was running fine.

Messing around with it I set wrong passwords for root and localhost and I couldn't access anything after that.

I deleted the XAMPP folder and reunzipped but when I try to start MySQL and Apache I get busy warnings

Any idea what to do?

Did you install Apache and MySQL as a service in your first installation?

No. The installer wouldn't work. I had to unzip it. It worked the first time but not now. I am running XP

You indicate that you tried first with the installer but it did not work which may have installed the services before you gave up on the attempt.

To remove these from the registry, if indeed they were created by the installer, follow these instructions that will do no harm and may just fix your issue.

Go to start>Run...
Type
sc delete apache2.2
Click OK

Then type
sc delete mysql
Click OK

Now try again to start Apache and MySQL.

Kindly let us know back if this fix worked for you.
Thanks.

That is what is supposed to happen and is telling you that they are both started.

Does the green running indication show in the XAMPP Control Panel next to Apache and MySQL?

What do you see when yo go to http://localhost in your browser?

Any clues in the xampp\apache\logs\error.log file?

No green light on either of them.

I get nothing with localhost or 127.0.0.1 except IE sometimes goes automatically to google searching for each

Nothing in the error logs

First click on both Stop buttons in the Control Panel then close the Control Panel.

Reboot your PC.

Then what message (paste here) do you get when you run apache_start.bat file?

What is the complete message that will tell you why they won't start - paste the messages here by using the Edit menu after clicking on the little icon top right of the console window.

Run setup_xampp.bat file and try again to start MySQL and Apache.

Ignore the Directory Mismatch message as it is not important and is not affecting this issue.

If you want to get rid of the message then do a forum search using the message in the keywords box.
